A delightful twist on the classic French Onion Soup, this recipe enhances the flavors with a touch of thyme and a blend of cheeses.
Heat a soup pot over medium heat and add a drizzle of oil.
Use a heavy-bottomed pot to ensure even cooking.
Add the sliced onions, brown sugar, and black pepper to the pot.
Stir frequently to prevent the onions from sticking or burning.
Cook until the onions are deeply caramelized and golden brown.
Patience is key; caramelizing onions takes time but is worth it.
Stir in the dried thyme and pour in the beef broth.
Scrape the bottom of the pot to deglaze and incorporate all the flavors.
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer covered for 20 minutes.
Simmering allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Preheat the broiler and ladle the soup into ovenproof bowls.
Ensure the bowls are safe for broiling to avoid any accidents.
Top each bowl with a slice of baguette and a generous sprinkle of grated cheese.
The cheese should cover the bread completely for a perfect melt.
Place the bowls under the broiler until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Keep a close eye on the broiler to prevent burning.
Serve the soup hot and enjoy the comforting flavors.
Garnish with a sprig of fresh thyme for an elegant touch.
